First Purchase for Baby! (06/28/11)

I don't know why I was so hesitant to make my first few purchases for Sophia. I kind of feel like I'm still too early and I'll jinx it. However, I'm not too early by any means. I'm more than halfway through the pregnancy for God sakes! I got her monthly baby onsie stickers and closet dividers. I'm also a crochet beginner and a baby booties addict so I bought these patterns: ruffled mary janes, spider slippers and ankle boots. You bet your butt I'll making these in all different colors and sizes! I also wanted to get these and these but I had to stop myself before I spent too much money on those adorable baby booties!

I was feeling a lot of movement a few days ago and now I hardly felt any movement yesterday and this morning. It's comforting to me to feel her toss n' turn, kicking, hiccupping and all...it's kind of like 'I'm here Mom and I'm doing ok.' I guess I'm just a crazy worry-wart (thanks, Mom!)

I'm off on the 4th of July so I'll have a 3-day weekend! I figured I would start doing some cleaning and clearing out where Sophia's space will be. I really want to dig into her closet and clear out the corner where the door is. Those are the messiest areas of the room. Then after that it's pretty much smooth sailing then we can slowly start to rip up the carpet and put pergo flooring down. I'm so excited!

We finished up our registry. I have to refrain myself from continuing to research baby gear and all or else I'll end up from scratch with a whole new registry. I think DH and I did well though. Everything that we registered for was gender neutral, safe and had great ratings...can't ask for anything better than that!

Registry fun! (06/22/11)

Ahhh! I love registering...it's become an addiction and all I think about. I woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking about travel systems. Crazy, huh? Is it sad that I'm almost done with our registry? I registered at Babies R Us and Target but mostly Babies R Us. Our local Target has crap for babies and it always looks empty so there's not much to register for over there. All I have to register for now is a nursery set, a crib matress, bedding, a travel system and a convertible car seat. Is that bouncer to the left not the cutest thing you've ever seen?! It seems pretty comfortable, it plays music and vibrates and has a toy bar. My favorite is the giraffe print and little giraffe ears where Sophia's head will go. We also registered for the matching swing.

DH and I have some work to do before we can get started on the baby's space/nursery. We've like to get our carpets ripped up and put pergo floors down and get a nice area rug. I want to re-do the closet organization in there before we actually start registering/purchasing stuff for the nursery. DH and I are having a hard time agreeing on the furniture and bedding. DH hates pink and would love to get her everything in blue. God bless his heart. Does he not know his wife's favorite color is pink?

DH felt babygirl move for the first time last night. She doesn't move much throughout the day but of course as I settle down for the night in bed she's in there moving around like an acrobat. I told DH she was moving and he rolled over and put his hand on my belly so lightning fast it was funny. Seeing his face light up was amazing. He's so in love and she has him wrapped right around her little itty bitty fingers already.
